United stock down a record 20% this am .

As i said " Under $400 id get interested ' . It's in the $396 area this am . I took a small nibble on it . It's down about 35% very quickly . I'll scale in over time if it keeps dropping . I think they cut costs sharply and in 2026 bounce back .

I know a couple of guys who REALLY know the market and trends. All they do is trade and make serious money. I'm talking 7 figures a year. Whether the market is up or down. My question for anyone who believes they are good at trading the market and can make a killing, why fool with selling insurance? I can assure you, if I were making the kind of money these guys make, I wouldn't be selling insurance.

I know one too. He's a futures trader and absolutely kills it.

That said, he's a massive ball of stress. I (and others, including his wife) have told him to just retire. He's got plenty of money and he's youngish (50) because if he doesn't, it's probably going to kill him.

It can certainly be stressful. One of the guys I know mostly does options. Plenty of LEAPS in his portfolio. Back on April 8th he said to buy 6 month leaps on AMD. It's up 25% since then. No telling what the options are up on it because like an *** I didn't do it. After the election he said he would be "full on bear" as of inauguration day. Dude is a savant.

I watched videos of those guys have jumped out of tall building over the years.

All right, so you bring up a really good point I would just like to add that if somebody is trading in the stock market it's more of a I'm doing this for myself type of deal. They might make a ton of money but at the end of the day they're not really Doing anything for others. They're just doing something for themselves while working in the insurance industry. Maybe you won't make as much money, but there is some satisfaction and quality of life to helping other people. That's why I do this because I do like the money I like the freedom but I also really really enjoy helping people I really do

So you think a person making 7 figures a year trading can't help people?

I was a full time trader for 23 yrs . I made and saved substantial wealth over that time . Why you ask ? I got tired of sitting in front of a screen 8 hrs a day for 23 yrs . To be a great day trader requires an almost obsession to be in front of the screen at all times . In the old days I'd take 4 monitors and my desktop to the beach . Trading most of the time is boring and mundane outside great volatility spikes . I still trade but I position trade for days, weeks and months . I enjoy meeting people and selling .medicare mostly .

I mean, you're basically describing Don … Dude spends his days flipping stocks on boats with hoes (Step Brothers movie reference). He only slangs Medicare as a hobby.
